The Women's Utopia Long-Sleeve Running Shirt's clean lines and flattering fit mask a host of awesome features. Made from soft thermal fabric with quick-dry properties, this high-performance top sports 360-degree retroreflectivity making it great for running when the light is low. Thumbholes on the cuffs provide extra warmth on cooler runs, and the internal hip pockets let you bring along your ID, keys or cash.

I bought the pants in this pattern in my local store and loved everything about them. I regretted not buying a matching shirt and was so excited to discover the Brooks site and find this item. Brooks apparel usually fits me and is very true to size. This was very small. My downside is my daughters upside, it fits her beautifully and looks lovely on her. She always wears at the least a full size smaller than I do and occasionally two sizes.

LOVE this shirt! I purchased the Utopia Thermal 1/2 zip last year and it quickly became a staple of my running wardrobe as I trained for a marathon during the cold Massachusetts winter (please, Brooks, bring it back - I might be the only one, but I loved the two external elastic hip pockets!!). The brushed thermal fabric is so comfortable, and warm yet breathable!

So, naturally I was excited when I found this top made of the same fabric in Brooks's lineup and decided to treat myself. To be honest, I am currently nursing a stress fracture so haven't been running in this shirt yet, but I have been wearing it as an every day top and it is super comfortable. The fit is extremely flattering and I also actually really like the neckline (although if I was running outside in the cold I would need to wear a top with a higher neckline underneath this for practical reasons). And of course the thumbholes are required. The internal hip pocket is a nice touch - you can fit a credit card/ID, some cash, and a key in there. It is warm, but I never get overheated in it. I only have this top in black, and am considering getting one of the patterned ones, but I also really hope Brooks will make this in other solid colors.
